Abstrakt

Artykuł przedstawia perspektywy i potencjał nowego pragmatycznego podejścia do języka naturalnego – pragmatyki wiążącej. Pragmatyka wiążąca wyrasta z semantyki wiążącej opracowanej dla logiki wiążącej. Proponuję różne sposoby budowania pragmatyki wiążącej i ilustruję ogólne idee dwoma obszarami zastosowań: interpretacją i projekcją presupozycji oraz interpretacją i projekcją implikatur skalarnych. Jako główne tło dyskusji wybrałem kwestię semantycznego i pragmatycznego rozumienia koniunkcji.

Słowa kluczowe:

semantyka/pragmatyka wiążąca, koniunkcja, presupozycja, logika trójwartościowa, implikatura skalarna, projekcja
